How many books have you read this past year?
I wasn't feeling as good this past year so I think it reflected in my reading amount. I read 114 books this past year. My most favorite author finds were Lee Child and Lauren Willig. |

| Darn it, I forgot to count. Next year will be easier since I have a Kindle now so I can just count the list! |
| I started writing down titles/authors/one or two word reviews sometime this fall, so I'll answer the poll next year. But I'm guessing at least 50 for 2009.... |

I was thinking the same thing - I'll just ahve to add in the books I read at lunch - I am not up to bringing the kindle to work yet. |
I dont count...but I average 3 a week...so I just did the math and came in comfortably at the "over 125" slot. 
To be honest though, a lot of those are re-reads, so if your talking NEW books...it more likely under 100. |
I only have time to read when traveling, so I'm under 75.  |
| Like most years this is asked, I'm really impressed by you heavy readers!!! |
| Question for Kindle owners--if a book isn't available via Kindle, do you buy the hard copy or get it from the public library? Or do read books only if they are on Kindle? |

I've only had the Kindle for two weeks so I imagine I'll just be Kindling for awhile. The Kindle is a good way for me to cut back on my book hoarding because I cannot get rid of books even though I seldom reread. James and I both work for libraries but we buy all of our books. I have all our books color coded on shelves so it's visually interesting to look at (but a librarian's nightmare) and I love adding to my collection to make the shelves look more colorful. However, we're running out of space so I hope the Kindle helps me slow down. If it has good enough cover art, I still might buy it. I really like actually reading on the Kindle, though. |
| They also make an app for the I touch which works off the e-reader. That is the same as the Kindle but put out by Sony. I think that if the book is not available on the kindle website you might be able to get it off the e-reader site. I thought that there was also a site that had more books availble which probably cover the classics and such. |

I will have had my Kindle for a year in March. I have found every book I wanted/needed and way more. It's almost overwhelming how many books are available. |

I found many of the classics at the kindle site. If a book is public domain as many classics are, the download is free. Older books that are not public may be as inexpensive as $.99 . |
| Audiobooks work the best for me! I usually download a book and listen while I'm grooming, at the gym, on a walk with the dogs, etc.
There is a pretty decent selection available on iTunes. I'm kinda bummed though, I wanted to get Watership Down and cannot find it on iTunes. I'll have to try audible dot com. |
